Chapters
00:00 - Flood damage


Notes
In life, there are friends that will help ya move, and then there are friends that will help ya’ move a body..... Cheers to the Dokta, Richard “Devin Blotard” Reith for helping pressure wash the Harpeth River out of the garage of my new bachelor pad. Rich and I (and my two sweet little boys) are having a blast on this beautiful day trying to clean out my badly wounded garage that had a foot of water in it. Life is good friends, I do not plan on letting the waves of divorce and biblical flooding bring me down. Thank you guys SINCERELY for all the kind words and support in the comments from episode 99.
